Photo Jelly is an AI-powered photo sharing and event management platform. It lets event planners, photographers, and organisations create events, collect media from guests, and automatically deliver photos to each guest using facial recognition — via WhatsApp or web, with no app download required for guests.

Who is Photo Jelly for?

Photo Jelly is designed for personal event hosts, professional photographers, wedding planners, and enterprise teams who need a seamless way to collect, manage, and share event media at scale.

How does AI facial recognition work?

Guests upload a selfie once. Photo Jelly' AI matches them to every photo they appear in and delivers those images privately via WhatsApp or the web gallery — never the full album.

Yes. Photo Jelly offers a free plan to host your first event. Paid plans add Cam-Link, AI editing, WhatsApp Bot, higher storage, and enterprise features.

Honest comparison · Photographer galleries

Photo Jelly vs Samaro

Samaro is a photographer-facing gallery: AI photo sharing, client review, favourites, and fast download. That client handoff is real work. Photo Jelly also has galleries — and is built so every guest, not only the paying client, can receive their own photos.

Two different jobs

Samaro is best when photographers who need clients to proof, select, and download a finished gallery. Photo Jelly is best when the job is an event: ingest, face delivery, WhatsApp, and a photographer in the loop.

Choose Samaro if

The paying client must proof and download the full gallery.
You do not need to message 300 guests individually.
Selects and favourites are the workflow you sell.

Choose Photo Jelly if

Guests should leave with their photos, not wait on the couple’s Drive.
You want WhatsApp and face privacy.
The photographer is publishing live or same day.

Samaro’s strength is the studio-to-client gallery: look, pick, download. If your buyer is the couple or the brand, and they should sit with the full set, Samaro is aimed at you.

Photo Jelly is aimed at a different failure mode: 300 guests who never get a file. Face delivery, WhatsApp, and Cam-Link sit next to galleries and favourites — they do not replace a mature selects workflow overnight.

Pick Samaro when proofing the client is the product. Pick Mogra when publishing the room is the product.

What each does well

Samaro

Client review

Favourites, selects, and download are the point — a photographer gallery, not a guest social app.

AI gallery presentation

Samaro sells the event-experience gallery: clients see work beautifully, quickly.

Photographer as buyer

The account model matches studios delivering to one client, not 400 aunts.

Photo Jelly

Guest-level delivery

Facial recognition so each person gets the photos they appear in.

WhatsApp + web

Delivery without forcing every uncle onto a proofing login.

Live shoot path

Cam-Link and desktop ingest for same-day publish, not only a post-production gallery.

Feature by feature

Checks mean the product actually does that job. A dash means it is not what they sell — not that they “failed.”
